Dindori

How do you keep a wave upon the sand; how do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?

It was unexpectedly cold and dark early in the morning, when I left Bhopal to begin my journey to Dindori. Shivering through a continuous glare of headlights from tired and underpaid drivers who drove to complete thei...

One two ka four: Panchmarhi

When I was tired of living the rut, I dreamt of all the things I could have done instead. Such as run a small business on a hill station, maybe? Refreshingly chilled mornings, crows that caw instead of crowing, dewy leaves, flowers and fresh honey, evenings by the lake with friends to talk about how wrong it was and how good it had become.

mauritius oh mauritius

Mauritius was our honeymoon destination. We boarded flight from mumbai directly to mauritius. Its a small but very beautiful place to visit. About 69% population is Indian. Thought indian food is easily but doesn't taste good. may be its due to cooking oil they use, food smells and taste sad. The hotel we stayed in arranged for special indian fo...

Bastar Land

When you disclose a holiday destination with a name like Chhattisgarh, save for a few souls who exclaim 'Wow!' or express envy, reactions more often range from 'What is that?' to 'Where is it?' Or a faraway look with brows knit, trying to jog dubious memory, followed by a 'But WHAT is there to DO over there?' Any such uncertainties or qualms abo...

Nearing the end :(

My conclusion on Varanasi other than it being significantly dirtier than the other places I've been in India, is boring! There is not much to do besides boat trips on the Ganges. We did go to the evening ritual last night on the river side which was very colourful, just not that awe inspiring given some of the things I've seen to date! I think t...

Varanasi -> Delhi, India tiggerbird

Celebrations

Most of my birthday was spent as expected, on a lengthy train journey. The locals had taken over half the cabins we had been allocated so we had to make space for ourselves elsehwere admidst the scum! I've come to the concludsion (not only just, but days ago!) that Indian people are rude and slow (particularly in relation to services in restaura...

Sambalpur

Ei saanud aru, kas Mumbaist saadetud "olen elus"-teade jõudis kohale, siin kõik klahvid teiste kohtade peal. Eile öise lipukese võis panna Nagpuri ja tänase Sambalpuri kohale (in the middle of nowhere). Endiselt rokane ja palav. Pidime jõudma Bhubaneshwari, aga autojuht väsis ara. Eelmises ööbimiskohas nägi pisut rohkem linna moodi välja, majade...

Racing across the subcontinent

So off I set on an epic journey to see my Budapest-ian friend Csaba, who's been working his **** off in India for the past several months, most recently here in Raipur, interestingly the capital city of a new state called Chhattisghar (say or spell that 10 times quickly) and so far the only place in India where I've seen several new public rubbi...
